I am 29 months post-op from RNY surgery. I am pleased with the results. I have been in the "Maintenance" phase for around 22 months and my weight has been fairly stable. I have even lost a few pounds in the "Maintenance" phase. It is my belief that the key to keeping the weight off in the "Maintenance" phase is hunger control. Fats are fairly important in this phase because they contain the ability to control hunger.

Around a month ago, my wife suggested that I explore essential oils especially the medicinal properties of essential oil. I bought a few books and read them. It was interesting that there were formulas for Appetite Reduction. I ordered some essential oils and created a blend that I named "Anti-Hunger". I then began experimenting with this formula. I am 3 days into the experiment at this point. I apply a dab of oil blend to my wrist and then rub my wrist together. So far I have observed that my hunger disappears around 30 minutes after the application and returns about 24 hours later. It is similar to the loss of appetite after RNY surgery, the honeymoon phase. I have been snacking on foods, primarily on foods that contain fats for over a year now. I have found it interesting that I have not eaten a snack in 3 days now and don't feel a strong temptation due to the loss of hunger.

Well I will run the experiment for at least a couple weeks and determine to my satisfaction, if the experiment is successful or not. Thus far I have been pleasantly surprised. So I am a little optimism. I asked my wife to try it. She is not overweight nor has she had surgery. She said she feels the same effects as I with about the same timing (effect window).

What oils did you use in your blend?

After I complete the experiment, if the experiment is successful, I will post the ingredients on my website.
